This military TV series is about a nuclear submarine leader who takes rebel action after refusing to take part in a preemptive strike against Pakistan. He and his team take over an island base and a standoff begins. After 6 episodes of this show I think it is a diverting and moderately exciting action drama with some grand conspiracy elements.
There are some pretty tense moments so far. Some aspects of the story are not that convincing but that's to be expected given the premise. While they do flash back home for some scenes unless the story can take some new direction it's getting a bit claustrophobic on the island. Things need to move more quickly and broadly because the infighting is getting tired. Hope it doesn't go the way of "Terra Nova".
Scott Speedman is the most well known cast member. He is watchable but his gentle demeanor is a little at odds with the role. Andre is a convincing leader. Camille de Pazzis isn't too attractive as a potential love triangle interest. Daisy Betts as the female lieutenant is earnest looking. Some of the other supporting actors from down under like the pan Asian islander and the navy seal are a bit out of place. Nice to see Autumn Reaser from O.C. as the mainland protagonist.
Overall there is some potential to last but drawing the viewers in really depends on having interesting stories that avoid the ludicrous or tedious and aren't drawn out too long. A submarine isn't that interesting after a while. Some more familiar guest stars might help because most of the cast are not too well known.
